The “Learning English with Little Leaf” (LELL) project of the English Language Education Department of EdUHK is adaptable to all of the dynamic possibilities of learning English in today’s constantly changing contexts. The mission of the LELL Project is to develop content in concert with English teachers, academics, students and professionals in technology and design in order to offer content that aligns to the English curriculum. LELL consists of a series of 6 Units on six different topics that tell stories about the Little Leaf and his family. Each unit includes two animated videos, a song, two e-books, and digital and hands-on activities to help primary students enjoyparticipate and speak up while learning English.

Watch the seminar video below which was held by by Dr. Stella Kong and Dr. Timothy Taylor for an introduction of the LELL project concept and information, or visit https://ele.eduhk.modernedu.hk for more project details.
